Currently Feeling:

relieved


nervous


excited


hungry...no, make that starving. I am always always starving. My appetite is voracious.


nauseous


sweaty


and most importantly, ready! ...I think.


Goals:


1) Finish.


2) Have Fun.



I Will:


-run a casual pace


-have a good time


-stop to go potty when I need to


-not wear a speedo (grossness!)


-sing along with my ipod as loud as I want when a good jam comes on. No, I don't care that you can hear me. Yes, I know that I sound bad. Feel free to pass me or turn your music up :)


-get the free 2 minute massage


-enjoy every minute.


-not worry about or pay attention to my time. Don't ask me about it, because I really don't care. I ran my last race for time. Ask me about that one, I'll talk your ear off.


-bask in excellent company, I love these girls and this whole weekend will be a blast!


-run side by side to the finish with my bestie.


-cross the finish line with a smile


-be lucky to be smothered in (sweaty) hugs from my kids and husband.



I cannot believe that about a year and a half ago, I put my 5 week old baby in his little swing, put on a 7 year old pair of sneakers, got on my treadmill, and ran one measly mile. It took 22 minutes.


Tomorrow, I'm going to run 26 and a half miles.


If I survive, it will be proof that ANYone can run a marathon.


Yes. Even you.



"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." -John Bingham



We will return to our regular scheduled blogging after the weekend.

Here's to all your hard work, reaching your goal, and the best kind of pain. You're going to rock it!

Wow. I'm super impressed already. And I got tired just reading about it. I can do 2 miles on a good day. Okay...more like 1.5 miles. And I stop to catch my breath. So I'm not a great runner but put me in a high intense card class and I ROCK.

Good luck! I'm going to dive into your blog this weekend. I'm excited!
